If you’ve used online dating to get in touch with Florida singles, what would be the ideal activities for your first date? There are many contenders, but here are five of the most romantic things to do when you head over to the sunshine state.
Explore a stunning wilderness
If you are looking for somewhere in South Florida where you can truly get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, look no further than the stunning Everglades National Park. This expensive stretch of wetlands covers an area of around 35,000 acres, its lugubrious waters and nodding reeds stretching into the distance on all sides.
This beautiful wilderness is home to sprawling mangrove forests, as well as numerous bird and fish species. You can book boat tours and keep your eyes peeled for the diverse fauna also inhabiting this submerged terrain, including alligators, river otters, and dolphins.
Watch the sun sinking into St. Pete Beach
One of the most romantic of all experiences is to watch a sunset with your loved one. Saint Pete Beach is certainly one location which will take your breath away. Prior to the heavenly spectacle commencing, choose one of the many shoreline cocktail bars to enjoy a diverse choice of refreshing drinks.
Afterward, head to the rooftop section of the Hurricane Grill and Wings for some mouth-watering savories, followed by a tranquil stroll along the sands. There is always a fine array of music to be enjoyed by one of the many bands performing here, but the highlight is to watch the glorious sunset fill the entire horizon.
Spend a romantic night indoors
Lovers Key State Park is the perfect retreat for any romantic couple. The golden sands are ideal for picnicking and this facility is also the habitat for an incredible variety of wildlife. Look out for dolphins and manatees
frolicking in the crystal clear waters nearby.
After spending time indulging in watersports or simply watching the world go by, you can book a boat trip to the nearby South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island. Nestling inside a luxurious property right on the beachfront, this is the perfect place to kick back and be waited on by the charming staff.
Dip into a sub-aquatic paradise
Another recommended location for any romantically inclined couple is to experience the beautiful living coral barrier reef beneath the Florida Keys, an archipelago stretching for 120 miles. You can spend some time snorkeling beneath the waves where you will be treated to spectacular undersea wildlife. The Seven Mile Bridge reaches out from the mainland to connect with the middle of these islands and is a particularly stunning piece of architecture to navigate.
Visit a lover’s retreat
After several hours taking in the multiple sites and activities South Florida has to offer an amorous couple, what better way to conclude a day out than to book into one of the USA’s most romantic hotel retreats?
The Henderson Park Inn has been attracting courting individuals for so long it has developed an outstanding reputation for its warm hospitality. As well as the temptation to indulge in room service, you can enjoy fantastic views of the nearby Emerald Coast.
